Famas SV to Famas G2

I'm doing roughly the same upgrade, got the bushings, shims, new inner barrel, polycarb piston, nozzle and PDI 150% for it.

However, the PDI 150 won't be compressed by the weakass motor in the V1 mechbox, as you can surmise (we've already proved this here).

In that posted link, xo said that he "compressed the spring by about 1 cm" and claimed success. Might someone clarify that, please?

Or should I just go with a not so powerful spring? We were looking for about 380fps on the high end with this mod, but I'd be happy for 330-350fps. It's what I think I should do, but of course, I'd like a second opinion on it.

Thanks,

-J

be careful upgrading too hot, just wearing out the gears in your famas faster. Replacement gears for that sucker dont come by often, if EVER.

honestly, you could keep it stock and sell it for a V2 or V3 gun and upgrade it then. From what I hear, the famas is of such poor quality, its not worth the time or money.

True enough, Droc. The money has already been spent, however. I may as well upgrade it.
